This is a list of the 2012 Baltimore City homicide victims and additional information regarding age, incident location, alleged perpetrators charged, and event proximity to police surveillance cameras . Scroll down for the map and charts. News articles are linked to the victim's name, obituaries and memorials are linked to the victim's age.

*Upon repeated review of the Maryland Judiciary case search the standards for a victim's adult criminal history on this site has changed over 2011. Due to the Baltimore Police Department's Zero Tolerance program in effect between 2001 and 2007 it was found that almost all homicide victims had a criminal infraction, many infractions were for petty crimes like loitering, littering, bicycling on a sidewalk(Officer Richard Cimini cases) and open containers. Although these infractions are listed as criminal offenses I cannot in good conscience consider these offenses indicative of a criminal record. This category is now changed from "criminal history" to "violent criminal history". Drug offenses, burglary, prostitution, domestic violence(this charge is not specific enough) and unauthorized taking of a vehicle charges are not considered violent. Violent offenses include murder, attempted murder, robbery, assaults and handgun violations.

**Affirmative if distance of a Baltimore Police Surveillance Camera(CCTV) location is one block or less of homicide event.

Just goes to show that our famous police department needs a good house cleaning. Unsolved crimes and murders at all time high. Criminals in uniform at a all time high. lets just pass out the badge to anyone
